Examples of Esports at the RecPlex

MOBA is a type of strategy video game focused on teamplay and coordination. Each player controls a single character as part of a larger team that is working together to achieve the ultimate victory condition, typically destroying their enemy’s base whilst protecting their own.
First-person shooter (FPS)
This is a video game genre centered on fast reflexes and coordination with your teammates to accomplish a variety of objectives depending on the game. Gameplay typically revolves around gun and other weapon-based combat from a first-person perspective.
Digital collectible card games
An individual player will strategically construct a deck of cards that will allow them to outlast the deck constructed by their opponents to achieve victory.
Battle Royale
This type is an online multiplayer video game genre that blends the survival, exploration, and scavenging elements of a survival game with last-man-standing gameplay.
